Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I'm Rachel, your host. Today marks our 100th show—and instead of our usual lighter fare, I'm turning the mic toward something deeply personal and urgent: the crisis in Gaza. I'll guide you through how consumer choices—from hummus to makeup, tech to banking—can support or stop the suffering. Plus, we'll unpack how our government plays into it and what steps you can take. Let's use our voices and wallets for justice. Key Takeaways Consumer Power Is Real – Our spending choices and boycotts send a message. Even one action can spark change. Know Your Labels – Brands like Sabra, SodaStream, Coca‑Cola, McDonald's and Dead Sea skincare may fund or benefit from the occupation. Tech & Finance Matter – Hewlett‑Packard, Barclays, AXA and others are implicated in enabling human rights violations through services or financing. UK's Role – The UK supplies vital F‑35 parts to Israel, facing criticism from Amnesty International and HRW, who argue this risks complicity in war crimes. You Have a Voice – Write your MP, sign petitions, join peaceful protest and support organisations like Amnesty and HRW. Hold Hope Close – Despite the darkness, there's UK humanitarian aid flowing. We can amplify it by visualising and acting for peace. Best Moments (verbatim) “I'm going to talk about food to avoid… Redefine Meat… founded in 2018 by Ness Ziona, which is in Israel…” “PepsiCo acquired SodaStream in 2018… previously manufactured in an illegal Israeli settlement. It also has a documented history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.” “Human rights organisations have strongly criticised this stance of the UK providing these F‑35 components… Amnesty International explicitly stated… this continued supply places the United Kingdom at risk of complicity in genocide.” “If you write a letter to your MP start with your full name and your address so they can see that you are one of their constituents…” “Focus on love, focus on compassion, focus on kindness, on harmony, on peace… visualising peace in Gaza.” #GazaBoycott #BDS #ConsumerActivism #UKArmTrade #HumanitarianAid #KetoVeganPodcast #EthicalLiving #PeaceInGaza #AmnestyInternational #HumanRightsWatch Valuable Resources Link to the information can be found here: https://theketovegan.life/%23100-boycotting-israel Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheKetoVegan/podcasts Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/821471059206067 Email: rachelghinn@gmail.com

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody welcomes Preet Sibia to discuss the evolution of go-to-market strategies from a transactional, product-first approach to a deeply customer-centric model. Preet shares candid insights from his decades of experience in semiconductors and reveals the operational, cultural, and structural shifts required to make customer orientation a reality.From building clear sales processes and empowering account managers to mastering alignment across teams and driving change management, Preet offers a detailed blueprint for organizations ready to elevate their customer relationships. He also emphasizes how investing in the right talent and metrics creates sustained impact across retention and growth.Key TakeawaysFrom Transaction to TransformationSticking to a product-oriented model may yield short-term success, but long-term growth demands a strategic shift to understanding and solving customer pain points. Customer-centricity transforms vendors into co-investors in client success.Simplify the Customer InterfaceMultiple siloed product teams can overwhelm customers. Empowering a single account owner (the “quarterback”) to guide the engagement improves clarity, builds trust, and deepens relationships.Operational Shifts are Non-NegotiableSuccessful transformations require a standardized sales process, clear role definitions, and well-trained application engineers and marketers who focus on customer needs, not just product features.Retention > AcquisitionBy understanding strategic roadmaps and elevating customer conversations beyond transactional buying, businesses can position themselves as indispensable partners, boosting long-term retention.Change Management Must Be IntentionalCommunicate relentlessly. Involve key leaders in shaping the change. Focus energy on those committed to the new vision, rather than spending time converting detractors.Measure What MattersBeyond product sales, leading indicators include customer satisfaction surveys, direct feedback, and clarity in account ownership. Internal and external alignment is key.Quotes“We used to walk into customer meetings with 20 product reps. Now we walk in with a few strategic voices focused on solving the customer's problem.”“Change doesn't work unless you pour your energy into those who want to drive it. That's how momentum builds.”Best Moments (01:00) – Preet's early journey in semiconductors and his unexpected start on a tech support hotline.(03:45) – Why customer-centric go-to-market isn't optional for future growth.(07:00) – How customer relationships shift when you focus on strategic problems over transactions.(10:00) – Operational changes that empower sales teams and streamline customer interaction.(16:00) – Managing change: from selecting champions to navigating resistance.(21:15) – Metrics that reflect progress in customer-centric strategy.Resources recommendationsRange by David Epstein – Encourages career exploration and diverse skill development.Backstage Leadership by Charles Galunic – A deeper look into leadership infrastructure and organizational dynamics.Shout-OutsJack Gifford, Founder of Maxim – Preet's early mentor and a lasting influence on his leadership philosophy.About the GuestPreet has over 25 years of global experience leading teams covering product marketing, applications engineering, sales, and distribution management. In his current role Preet leads Sales, Marketing, and Applications Engineering for Infineon's Consumer, Computing, and Communication business in the Americas region.Connect with Preet.
